I have always wondered, if congestion pricing would’ve or will affect drastically UR once implemented since basically with a lot less congestion rides will be completed in a more efficient manner and as a result drivers will be idle for longer times than now that any 2-3 mile trip in the congestion area can last up to 25-40 minutes, of course that would be if congestion actually drops which In my opinion it could for a few months but then come back up once people gets used to it but at that point im assuming they will be strengthening the way it works or simply just keep using it as MTA funding…
Uber would argue that people driving into the City will go down with the new tolls and more FHV trips will be generated. This is why Uber supported for congestion pricing

Didn’t thought of that but it makes sense, thanks.
